Collaborating with living matter growing onto four waterproof canvases left in nature over two-years. On extraction it is revealed through an intimate and rhythmic sonic videoscape experience, enhancing ecological connectivity and biodiversity awareness.

Videoscape

Flux_Unearthed (2024-2025) represents the apex that marks the end of the flux overall experimental process based on the living matter and biodiversity’s interaction with four waterproof canvases left in nature over two-years.

It symbolises also the beginning of a renewed attitude mindful of the native habitat’s agency and its delicate equilibrium.

The four canvases’ extraction testimonial videos and the native habitat’s recorded sound combined with the artist- improvised chanting and biodiversity intervention, immerse the participants into a rhythmic sequence of intimate and interconnected cycle-time experiences.
